Engineering & Real Estate Operations - As Built
Road Reporting
NOTE: June 2008
A May 2008 Order in Council has repealed the
mandatory as-built road (ABR) reporting requirements
in sections 86(2) and 86(4) of the Forest Planning
and Practices Regulation, and the associated penalty
provision in the Administrative Orders and Remedies
Regulation. This legislation change is an outcome
of the 90-day forestry regulatory review initiated
by the Honourable Gordon Campbell, Premier of
British Columbia in January 2008.
The purpose of repealing the regulations around ABR
reporting is to allow time for the ministry to
conduct a review of roads reporting over the next
two-year period to ensure that it reflects the
efficient business processes for both government and
industry. Following this review, it is expected
that new roads reporting requirements will be
brought into effect through new regulations to
replace the ones that have been recently repealed.
The ministry’s electronic submission framework has
been amended to remove the option to make ABR
submissions.
Annual
Reporting Requirements, Section 86, Forest Planning and
Practices Regulation - As-Built Road Reporting
The As-Built Road Reporting requirements of the FPPR,
Section 86, Annual Reporting are in keeping with the
results based approach of the Forest and Range
Practice Act. Road construction is authorized by the
ministry and forest licensees build and maintain roads.
The as-built road reporting serves to provide government
with where permanent access structures are constructed
on the Crown land base. Additionally, the required
annual reporting of deactivation of roads indicates
treatment of roads which would no longer be considered
road access on the crown land base.
Having the as-built roads submitted through electronic
means is part of a government initiative to improve
service delivery through the use of electronic business
mediums. One of the goals is to decrease costs to
industry as well as government with the objective of
having each piece of information submitted once even
though it may be used for a number of purposes. The
electronic contents of the report and the schema
developed to capture those contents were arrived at
through a consultative process between ministry and
industry staff.
Further, the as-built road electronic submission
initiative is also linked to the government initiative
to have a complete and accurate road network of all the
roads in British Columbia. The ABR submission data is
being used to update the TRIM maps maintained by the
Integrated Land Management Bureau as well as the
ministry’s Forest Road Management Application (FRMA).
The electronically submitted roads will be reflected
within the Digital Road Atlas which is being developed
and populated in order to support a wide range of
business applications.
